In the comics, Savitar was a real person who believed his speed was a divine gift. Either way, he knows more about velocity and the speedforce than anyone Barry has ever encountered, more so than Zoom and Reverse-Flash.

Moving forward, it will be interesting to see if Savitar is a literal god of the speed force, or he’s just a metahuman in a transformer suit. An expert when it comes to the speed force, Savitar lead a cult in the comics, which we could be mistaking for Alchemy’s followers on the show. At this point, Savitar seems like Alchemy’s puppet, but it could be the other way around. His lightning streak entered Iron Heights Prison and killed The Rival. This actually wasn’t the first time we saw Savitar. He’s got transformer armor, neon blue eyes and abilities that took even Barry by surprise. He doesn’t look like Zoom, Reverse-Flash, The Rival or any other speedster we’ve seen yet on The Flash. Savitar finally reveals himself, hoisting Barry up against the wall. Wally steps toward a crystal Alchemy left behind and promptly transforms into a cocoon, almost like Marvel’s inhumans do during Terrigenesis. That’s when Savitar starts cracking necks. “You have no idea what’s about to begin,” Alchemy warned Barry.

Savitar was running so fast, nobody else but Barry could even see him. Savitar, the self-declared ‘god of speed,’ made debut last night during The Flash Season 3 episode 6, “Shades.” Team Flash thought they were about to capture Alchemy, until Barry noticed blue streaks bouncing around the room.
